They can be purchased for just a couple hundred quid, sometimes even less. It's just a vanity thing, I don't see it any different to when people "name" their house.

I've also been trying to say that we've had this going on for months now since things started reopening and if someone is still turning up at mass gatherings without checking what's needed then that's no one elses fault but theirs, but you're trying to shift the blame onto everyone else and that jus...

Aaron Lennon was training with us to get fit.

Does anyone know where he went afterwards?

We needed a right winger, even though I disagree with re-signing Lennon I understand it.

Arsenal have sold better, and less injury prone, players this summer

Just there for training by all accounts, Arteta hasn't said anything about offering him a playing deal.

I have a flu jab every year The Spanish flu was a pandemic that eventually downgraded to an endemic (?), we just live with it now and every winter we know thousands are going to die, sometimes it's tens of thousands as it was back in 2015 I think when it was as high as 45k.

Sol Campbell, Spurs to Arsenal and the spurs fans are still bitter about that.

I've always wondered whether these relegation clauses apply also to the manager and his coaching staff or is it just the players?

The general rule is the club pay for any officers they have within the stadium. It will be agreed how many and what rates. Then the police put officers outside where needed for public safety reasons.

Sorry, I am a bit of a sceptic. but comments comparing SD's football knowledge to anyone on here is a bit silly. He gets paid the thick end of £50k a week to know more than me or you.

But at the minute, seeing as it's the club/premier league wanting these checks and not the law, then the club will have to pay extra for any officers they want there. In October if the law states it then the Police could use their budget? I don't know how the officers are located around the ground,...

I think the key word there is "could". This is also contradicted by official govt. guidelines / laws, so I think it would be reasonable for people to assume that there are no "passports" required.

I don't think I'm particularly dense or living under a rock, but this thread is the first I've heard of it. Have the club informed ST holders about it? Have the PL advertised it anywhere?

I suppose my point is twofold: 1. I don’t think it’s correct to assume that everyone is aware of the PL Covid policies.

Slightly different position, we had a squad of players then. If we are relegated I doubt we would offer contracts to any of our OOC players. So we could be looking at a squad of 14 senior players (that’s including Pope and McNeil). We would effectively have to purchase 6-7 players if we went down M...

I'm pretty sure we have relegation clauses, that's one of the reasons why some players don't sign, or stay, so the wage bill would drop automatically.

Just read this. Feel for him a very decent guy. I also feel this 'could' be an opportunity for our manager. It is a drop down as things stand, but with him there the only way would be up.

We recouped most of our outlay though when we sold him so we didn't lose a massive amount.

He's made 3 appearances for Norwich this season.

It's because Dyche wants his most advanced striker to play on the last centre half. This hasn't just applied to Wood.

I know that but is he getting caught out more because he's making runs and anticipating passes that the wingers are then not making because they aren't anticipating his runs?

Playing one up front isn't really an option, as Wood is usually offside. Who would the midfield pass to?

Of course, we could play someone else.

Is it Wood who's offside or the wingers aren't passing it quick enough because they can't see his runs?
